4. We fiod that the basement is pot of eutlicieut height to connest the fioor of the new wiog and main building on a level wiih each other, or to aliow the new wing to be enfficien‘ly heated by connecting with the heating system of the main buila- coadeased steam from the main

fom

ing as al!

building svstem would flow in‘o and pre- venl the [ree c rcniaticon of direct steam niotue ari per ot wing # thes would be ata mucn lower level on account of we iow basement. Also on account ofthe lowness cf the basement as

sauwa ia the pian, it will be impo-sible to make use of cold air ducts for indirect heaters as the opening in tbe walls for ducts will be below the surface.

5. Wealso tind that tse intention of the plans and specification is toconnect the new wing aod the maio building with a tunnel, the floor of which must be five feet below the cellar floor of the main building and wing, and will require steps at each end. The bottom will be below the drain- age pipeof the main building which wil alwayscause sdampovess. The light fir this tunnel is supplied by the windows in porches ateach endand about 12 feei overnead which wiil not be sufficient and artificial means wust be used. Aleo ov account of thetep of ceiling; being five feet belowthe level ofthe man stean pipes, the pipes leading through the tunne! will requigg to be depressed which wil make arecepiacile atthe depression for back water and will be a source of trouble and arnoyance at all times.

6. The system of ventilation we do not consider sufficient as it cannot have a cirs eulation of pure air as it is described. Al) the ton! air ia the differeat rooms wil! be carried intotbe corridors and avd circulate over the whole brilding.

7. We also fiud that the roof isa pitch one and very slightly constructed without brace ties or king post, which is not suli- able for a building of that descripton, and we must condemn it as it may cailapee a any moment.. Also part of the upper por - tion of the main wall is®woed, »nd no provision is made to have it properly secured to the building, as the roof is resting on parapet wa'l.

8. We also find the morgue in the basement is built of wood, partitions lathed and plastered with wood en floors. All the partitions in the foor House are of wood. Also the brick divi- sion wail, dividingthe Insane and Poor Hoase is act built any higher tham tne upper fivor; whereas it shouldgbe built te. the roof as a fire break.

9. Wealsofind on examination of the present water tower in administration

building a large iron tank weighing whev fnif of water abovt tentons. The epecifi- cation calls for avother tavk which will weigh 10 tons more, and placed on the saue floor as the present one. Afier careful examination of the tower, we ‘inv the foundetien wall cracked and settled and the beams under the present tank sprung. One ofthoee beams has been trussed since putthere. We do not eon- sider it safe to put any more ve'g!t on this part ofthe building as it is over wards in which there are a number o! female patients at pre-eat; bnt would re ecwmend that a suitable place be built for the tank over the stair-cace at the eas. end ofthe new wing or over water closets and bath rooms. The iron tank alove is five feet deep,$8 fet in diama er, euppo‘ed to hold 1800 gulions of water, tauvk and water weighing 10 tons each.

After careful examination of the plans and specification, we recommend the fol- lowingio order to bave the buildivg safe and secure;

1. That the whole cellar be excavated 80 that the walls will etart below froat line viz: 5 feet below surface and that proper footing stcnes be placed below al! cross wails, piers, air shafts and flues io secure a solid foundation to start the brick work from.

2. That foundation wall under Insane portion of the building be increased in thickness to 28 inches instead of 21 inches, with proper footing course. Also that portion of the Poor House wall at east end be increased to 24 inches instead of 18 inches as called for with proper footing couree.

3. That all inside cross walls of brick work be ouilt and properly bonded into opposite shell of hollow walls; also brick partitions in solid walls as well.

4. That the basement of the new wing be built up level with the basement of the old building and outa de grad- ed up to under eide of bavement window sills with gradual grade,

That the new wing be connectei to the old ene with @ passage way justead of tun- nel, baving level floors #0 as to ensure sat- isfactory heating and walis of pessage car- ried up same he ght as

We recommend that the same system of ventilation be adopted im the new wing as in the present building by having boilow waile iu thee rriders thereby carrying the tou! air cirect from rooma to air shafis,

it is too weak to support anything of a heavy roof:

The above is a report of the main de- ficiencies we fied in plansand specifications, and it aiso infovms you what l* pecessary to remedy the same and make the building safe and secure for the use for which it is intended. We find that we cannot give an estimate of the cost of these alterations and additions until such time as plans are made to carry out such suggestions and alterations as may be required.

Yours respectfully, H.C. MeMiiiay, Gov’t Eng. R. P. LeMay, Arenitect N. R:C. C.

Ch’town, Oct. 24th 1897.2

By this report the ~p-cification is shown to be @ huge piece of bluod2ring through ou', and that Mr. Lowe’s contentions were right is amply demonstrated, The repert also saysthat LeMay and the Engineer were unable to makean estimate of tie cost of the alterations they suggested. It is useless, said Mr. Shaw, to endeavour ‘0 place the blame for the whole of this lieyraceful proceeding on the shoalders of Mr. Peters asevery member of the Gov- eroment was equally guilty. In the face of the report ot their own inspectors they ordered Lowe togo ahead with the bu:ld- ing, but they did not notify him of the changes required or seod = him acopy ofthe report as they promised, Neither did they write Lowe uotil a month after the Commissioner received the report, aud even then vo reference was made to the report. Oa the 29:h November Lowe wrote the Commissioner pointing out thar he bad been retused his several applica~ ions for the necessary authority to) pros eed wiih the work andal+o showing the o-s which be haa sustained by not biaining such authority, aud again de- mandinga conference or arbitration to settle all matters in dispute +o that he might proceed with the work. Ia the face f tnis letterthe Government abont De- cember 1@th took possession of the work notwithstanding that the Commissioner of Public Works, over bis own signature had ext-n¢ed the ime of completing tbe work till Oo:'ober, 1898. After the difec 8 in tbe fuuudation were discovered in April 1897, and the attention of the Government caliedto the matter and tbe cemands of Mr. Lowe for authority to proceed with the work according to agreement and the pers stent refusal of the Goverument to grant such authority and notwithstanding the various reports of the Commissioners appointed to examine the plans and the unanimous condemnation of said plans by these vera! reports submitted and in the face vitbe letter extending the t me for the com- pletion of the contract to October 1898 we find that the Govrament stepped inaud took possession of the work in December last. Mr. Shaw, then stum- med up the various points taken in the matier. Hecla:medtvoatin the face of the facts setforih aod the documentary

evidence tubmitted the conduct of the Government was such as to forfeit the respect of the people and ihe

covufidence of their representatives.

Mr. Lefurgey seconded the resolution introduced by Mr. Shaw. He revieweu the whole proeeeding and sirongly cen- sured the Government for the harsh m snaer io whicb the contract or Lad been dealt with. He hadin'ered intoth @>u trace in good faith, furnished al) the security that wes requred and Lad th material on the ground to proceed wiih the work but was unable to do ro by reaeon of the blucdering of the Government avd their architect. He ased every hovourable endeavourto carry out his part of the agreement but ibrough no fault of bis the work was still in akbeyarce. The aflui: was disgraceful to the Goverumevt aod when the whole facts of the case were placed in the hands of the people he telt that they would epeak wita no uncertain sound ip respect to the matter.

Hon. Mr. Warbuton was the last speaker; but, as the hour was late he aid not go into the Asylum matter, promising to take it up later on in the se-sion.

Hon. Mr. Warburton then submi ted the * timutes of expenditure for the cur.ent year.

The Echo presents to its readers the | foliowing plain statement of fact, with | she simple comment that a medicine | that can perform so remarkable a cure is invalu:ble, and itis no wooder that the aggregate of its sales throughout the country is enormous:

On getting better I commenc- ed work again and continued »t it until the next Januarv, when | tock a much worse attack. ‘Ihe doctors pronounced it rheumatism, snd after treating we for ‘hat disease ut til about the first of May, they discovered that my trouble was disease of the Lip joint, and advised me | to goto the hospital. I went to Toron- | to and stayed in the hospital five weeks | and then returned home. I did not re- cover and was compelled the following summer togo back to the hospital, where | remained three months, getting worse all the time. I was told i coulu not be cue’, »'«l when I leit was only able to walk by tne aid of crutches. I| then cxm* heme «nd was not there long before | was t-ken tomy bed. I con- tinued is tiis «ave until January fol- lowing when I was advised by several frients tot'y Dr. Williams’ Piok Pills.

Among those who speak in terms of gretvuceef fr. Williams’ Pink Pilis is Mr. Lemuel MeCready, of Shannon, N. B. He saye:—*A vear ago I was taken with a painin my bip, which giaduaily worked to tbe knee, where it settled. At first [ thoughtit an attack of sheuma-

A YOUNG LIFE SAVED

Mr. William Stoughton, a farmer liv- ing near Barryvale, Oat., telis of his | daughter’s recovery to health as jollows: | “In 1893, my daughter, then a picture) of health and strength, went to Ardock, Nocvth Dakota. In April of that year she caught a severe cold, which brought her to tne verge of the grave. The cold | was followed by hesdache, dizziness and palpitation of the heart. and she became 60 pale and emaciated that her doctor | there said that she was going into con- sumption,and advised ber to return home. She was so weak as to be alinost | helnless, and we decided that the best

| thiog to be done was to sent her to the | And

Kmuston Hospital, where ske could bave better treatment than was pos- sible in our couotry home. She remain ed for two months in the hospital,

gradually growing weaker instead of | stronger, and as itseemed to us that

there was no hope of recovery, we brou cht her home, At this time she| was 8) weak as tobe scarcely able to) Walk across the room. She was pale}

HOSPITAL TREATMENT FAILED

oe

The Fort William, Ont., Journal re lates the cure of Mrs. Jane Marceille, of that town, as follows: Nervous pros. tration, heart disease, consumption and other names were given to her malady by physicians, but months passed, dur. ing which she suffered untold agony, without finding any relief. Palpitation of the heart, dizziness, extreme pain ig the chest, loss uf appetite and nervous. ness were some of the symptoms of the — disease;gathering. that saused excrucia- ting pain formed at the knee joints end other parts of the body, and at last she

became perfectly helpiess and unable to walk or even eitup. At this stage

that she might bave the benefit of ski). led nurses as well as the best medical treatment; but after spending some time there without obtaining any relief, the poor woman gave up all hope of re. covery, and asked to be taken home, So emaciated and weak had she become that her friends were sbocked at her ap- pearance, and so utterly hopeless was ber condition that it was like mockery to speak hopefully of ber ultimate re- covery. Wohatthen was the ast@nish- ment of all who had known her

ful conaition to heer that che has last —

found a remedy, whose magical power —

at once demonstrated the fact that where is life there is hope. The name of this remedy that worked such a won- dertul change in such a short time was Dr. Williams’ Pink rille, and after tak- ing five boxes she was able to walk about and visit

and ip a tew months from the time she — began using the medicine she was abie to resume her work.
